6/10
Not bad but not comprehensive.

This must have been the first documentary on martial arts legend Bruce Lee. It was filmed not long after his untimely passing and before the release of "Enter the Dragon." This isn't without merit but a lot was omitted. No mention of Bruce Lee trying to make his own version of "The Silent Flute," (would have been interesting to see) no reference to how Lee came to form Jeet Kune Do and scant details about his rebellious childhood. Rather disappointed by all this. The photos of him testing for various film roles for a proposed project with the Shaw Brothers in 1972, are quite interesting. Judging by the above, Bruce Lee looked a natural for Asian period martial arts movies. If only it could have come true.......... There are some good clips from his films but my favourite is when footage of the original version of "Game of Death" is shown. Superb. Documentaries like "I am Bruce Lee" and "The Legend" are a lot better though.
